1.ETrE1s FROM RICHMOND.


RICHMOND, Va, April 5.-The death of
Major David A. Carter removes good man
from conspicuous place in the hall of the
House OF Delegates. For nearly forty years
he has been legislative clerk. If re-
member Alright, once heard the Major say
that he was clerk in the Virginia egisla-
ture as far back as 1850 When the war
broke out he was clerk in the House of
Representatives, st Washington, but he re-
signed and came back to Virginia TO cast
his lot with the Coniederacy. On the bat
tlefield he served with courage and for a
while he held clerkship in the Confedcr.

busy 10 aid The newspaper men, who for
session after session Of the General Assem-

bills and resolutions which had to go through
his hands before becoming laws. He pass

many ex members of the Virginia legsla.
ture who will read the announcement of
Major Carriers death with deep regret.
The General Assembly will take recess
to morrow for thirty days. There will be
much hurried legislation to morrow Of a
local character To-day the House passed
number of House bills, but these bills will
never pull through the Senate to morrow.
When the body reassembles these measures
will come up in regular order.
There is an indication that there will be
soma talk in the House to morrow 10 regard
to Ireland, Mr. Franklin, (republicaD) Of
Appomattox, proposes to introduce reso
luton similar to the one introduced by
Senator Lovenstein, of Richmond, to day.
Mr.. Franklin will speak to his resolution
and Mr.. Terry, Of Charlotte, says he will
give one good old shout for Ireland when
the resolution comes up Delegate Patrick
Henry O'Bannon, of Rappahennock, who
has an Irish patronymic, will doubtless have
something euioeislic to say of Gladstone and
Parnel. The Senate resolutions will come
ND again tomorrow and the Irish leaders in
the English parliament will be the recipient
of much euogy and praise from the lirs of
Virginia Senators.
The opponents of the bill granting certain
privileges to the Charleston, Cincinnati and
Chicago railroad certainly made a poor
fight in the House to-day. A6ram Fulker-
son, of Washington county, led the opposi-
ton, and it fell as fat as founder. Mr..
Cardwel, OF Hanover, scored one against
Mr.. Fulkerson when be read from the acts
of 1856, railroad charter in which APP
peared among the list OF incorporates, the
name Of Abram Fukerson, of Washington.
Mr.. Cardwe!l showed that MIR. Fulkerson's
road, which has never been built, will never
be constructed because the incorporators
haven't the money to build it, but that the
c., c. & c. r. r. company have 100000
which they will use in the development Of
the road and the sections Of Southwest Vir-
giuia, western North Carolina, and eastern
Tennessee, through which the road will pass.

Anarchists Routed.

John A. Roche, republican, is elected
mayor of Chicago by a majority of over IS,

yet awhile and no Socialists are Haunting
red flags in the faces of respectable citizens
now Their halls are deserted, and few oil
them are locked up in the station houses for
speaking their blood and thunder senti

socialistic candidate for mayor, would not
at first believe the announcement Of his de-
feat 1t is noteworthy fact that none OF
the men who have hitherto been recognized
as the great leaders of the labor party took
any active part in the recent fight. They
were too respectable. The way in which
the honest workingmen voted for the sup
preston Of anarchy shows that they had
little or no respect for the leaders of this last
movement. 1t is likely that the so-called
united labor party elected two aldermen,
and nothing else With these exceptions,
The whole of the republican ticket is elected.
Business men breathe easier now that the
crisis has been passed and many prominent
merchants worked at the polls like ward
workers. The day passed quietly.
TWAS only Monday nigh that the Socialist
organizer, Gruenhut, made the assertion
that the seven condemned Anarchists would
be saved by his party polling at least their
$4,000 pledged votes, selecting a Socialist
city treasurer, their entire west town ticket
and six to nine aldermen. The party polled
ia round numbers, about 10000 votes 1t
was a perfect day, so far as sunshine was
concerned. The air was chilly and raw,
but it is conceded that no voters were kept
at home by the weather. There was a no.
table absence of drunkenness. The United
Labor party had made it campaign CRY
that not man on their ticket would owe
his election TO votes purchased with whiskey.

the polls, probably OF heart disease was the
nearest approach to tragic incident. Not
single serious row occurred during The
day. At midnight the returns show the
United Labor party elected only one man in
the entire city-Conner, their candidate for
alderman in the Fifth ward. Dvorak, their
alderman in the Sixth, is defeated. Con.
nor's majority is less than 400. The total
vote for mayor is: Roche, republican,

growing out ofa too enthusiastic celebra

TROUBLE AMONG THE CoLoRED TRool

TROUBLE AMONG THE CoLoRED TROOPS.
For some time past trouble has existed
between w. II. Bannister, Captain of Com
pany D, First Battalion (colored) Infantry,
of Richmond, and members OF the company.
The matter eliminated in row between
Capt. Bannister and Lieut.. Scoot, which re-
suited in an investigation. The report says
there were charges against Bannister for
Incorporating money and Improperly
mastering men at inspection. He failed to
establish the slightest form Of discipline in
his company, and there were but two men
in it who had any respect for him. He used
abusive and indecent language to his men
aud permitted the men to run over him.
The company, however, has been guilty of
much worse offence. They agreed not to
soldier under Capt. BanDster,' and request
ed him to resign, and that failing they en-
deavored to bring about trouble. While the
Captain was drilling the company row was
brought about, and the men stacked arms
and ceased to obey his orders. Gov. Lee
has revoked Bannister's commission and or
dered the company TO be disbanded.

THE AVERAGE cost of u soldier ia Euro
pean armies is 1923. In this country it is
81 500 If cost be a true estimate of value,
the American soldier should be worth seven
times as much as one in the English, French
or German army. But the experience OF
the United States army in its Indian cam
nAions doesn't sustain shy such idea.
